[edit] Stands/Terraces
- Main Stand - This stand is the newest stand. A Terrace used to be in its place until it was knocked down and replaced by this while Stanley were still in the Unibond League. It runs half the length of the pitch. The dugouts are situated here and in the John Smiths Stand.
- John Smiths Stand - This stand runs the other half the length of the pitch. It used to be called the Thwaites Stand. Because of the slope on the pitch it has less rows of seating the nearer you get to the Clayton End.
- Clayton End - This the home end. The more vocal Stanley fans known as the Stanley Ultras like to stand here. It is a covered terrace that had a roof added to it at the start of 2007-08.
- Whinney Hill Terrace - Otherwise known as the Cowshed. It is a small terrace with only 3 rows.It has a roof running 2/3 the length of the pitch but with pillars blocking your view. The Television gantry is situated in the middle of the terrace.
- Coppice End - This is the away end. It is identical to the Clayton End except it only runs 2/3 the width of the pitch and has no roof.
